Default More on sailing accident

On the sailor who died in Tacoma on Jan 28th.
The boat was a Santana 525 and they were running downwind when a strong
gust caused the boat to broach to leeward throwing him in the water. The
crew had a hard time getting back to him. Other boats abandoned a race to
help. The CG chopper and fire department rescue boat eventually recovered
him but it was too late.
